Saddlebag latch rivet tool
Saddlebag latch replacement or tightening occurs often enough that JIMS has
developed a tool specifically for this purpose. This tool gives secure fastening
while providing a clean factory look. To top it off, our tool is substantially less
expensive than tools offered by others to do the same job but ours still retains
JIMS known quality. That is, our saddlebag latch rivet tool may be relatively
inexpensive but it is not cheap. Made in the USA, this tool also carries a lifetime
guarantee.

Battery lifter
Even sealed and gel cell batteries can leak harmful and corrosive chemicals
that can cause damage to skin and clothing. This new Battery Lifter is modeled
after the larger tools made for automotive batteries but is properly sized to fit
a variety of motorcycle batteries. In particular, some Harley-Davidson® models
have an extremely tight fit in the compartment combined with a heavy battery,
which makes for unusually difficult removal and installation. This is an accident
waiting to happen! Dropping the battery can result in personal injury, and/or
damage to the motorcycle, as well as the battery itself. Our concern for safety
goes beyond just riding the motorcycles. For all H-D® batteries where lifting
straight up is difficult to impossible.

Rocker box alignment screws
Production tolerances on Twin Cam rocker covers can allow them to shift when
being tightened. This can cause misalignment which not only looks bad but
can compromise the sealing surface. In high lift cam engines that have had the
rocker covers relieved, misaligned covers can also cause rocker interference
unless even more material has been removed. For these reasons, we have
developed alignment screws to ensure that rocker cover alignment is correct.
This product offers an improvement in both form and function of Twin Cam
rocker covers. The quality you expect from JIMS allows us to give a lifetime
guarantee on these made in USA screws.
53-2730 Use on All Twin Cam Engines
Brake fluid and corrosion detection strips
We know the hydraulic fluid in brake and clutch systems may need to be
changed or flushed. The question is: When? At JIMS, we have the answer.
These detection strips reveal the condition of the fluid, as well as the hydraulic
system itself. For obvious safety reasons, we feel these are a must for service
departments as well as the home mechanic. BrakeStrip detection strips also
determine whether there is DOT 3, 4 or a combination of the two fluids in the
system.

Vacuum fed fork filling tool
Changing the fork fluid on models with fairings can be intimidatig and take
hours. This patent pending toll will eliminate the need to remove the fairing on
all touring bikes to change the fork oil. It’s like magic. With this tool it should
take about 30 minutes to perform the service compared to 2.2 hours. To drain
the fork, simply insert the tappered fitting into drain hole and create a vacuum
using a standard Mityvc hand pump. Once you reach approx 23 draw the
pre-measured amount of fork fluid into the fork tube. This tool is designed to be
used in conjunction with Mityvac tool, which is available separately.
53-1129 Use on all common damper tube type fork
assemblies (Not for use on motocycles using
cartridge type forks or inverted fork assemblies
Tappet Adjustment Tool
Tappet adjustment made easy by Hiro Koiso. This patent pending hand tool
simplifies the way to verify proper tappet adjustment. After adjusting the tappet,
simply insert the tip of this tool under the hydraulic unit retaining clip, above the
pushrod seat. Similar to a “Go No-Go Gauge”, if the tip doesn’t fit between the
clip and the pushrod seat OR if there is up and down end play, then the tappet
is out of adjustment. Only when the tip fits nicely with no end play is the tappet
properly adjusted.
53-1128 Use on most hydraulic tappets, OEM and
aftermarket, for Twin Cam or Evo (Does not work
on Solids, JIMS Hydrosolids or other limited
travel tappets)
